I recently determined my CDI and magneto were bad so I replaced both. Now with the replacement parts installed I only have spark with the plug out while i'm holding the plug... which shocks me mind you... HELP PLEASE!!!
Yeah i purchased a high performance plug and wire. It is getting fuel... I can smell it when i push the bike with the plug out. It is an 80cc Chinese engine from BoyGoFast.If your getting bit when it's out, should mean it is sparking in engine. Did you change plug and wire ? Wire may have a break in it when positioned different. Is is getting fuel. What kind of engine ?
Hang in there.
I tested the CDI and magneto with a meter and compared them with readings people got on this forum. I got open for all readings concerning the blue wire on both the CDI and magneto. Which would mean that they're both bad. I got back from work late today so I was unable to try your idea. If I don't get a spark does that mean the brand new CDI is bad? When it sparks while i'm touching the threaded part of the plug, my left hand which is holding the handlebar sometimes also gets shocked. I'm puzzled. I have the black wire of the magneto on the lower left screw that holds it in... is that correct?How did you determine the cdi was bad?
Do not allow the plug to spark ungrounded.
With the sparkplug wire connected to the plug. Firmly press the threaded part to the bare metal cooling fin while watching the spark plugs GAP. Now let the clutch out. Gently push the bike forward. Did you see a spark??? Keep trying until you either see a spark or you are sure you did NOT .
You will probably wind up buying another cdi.
Hi im a newbie an actually right now im in Iraq. when we got here a couple of guys had these kits which now a couple of guys in my group have them now. we are a maintenance team so you know we all tinker LOL. My kit should be coming this week thatsdax F80 the guys that have them now mixed the fuel way too thick at first now having issues they are running a little better now though. Anyways this is my question once youget going on either one of these bikes at about top speed they want to cut out let off the throttle an you go again could this be magneto getting wet or? Any feed back would be great plus any tips for installing my kit Thanks
